why do we need GL?

[imported_exe163]

why do we need GL? of cource i'm talking about GL in BF2 not in real life! you cannon jump and creat momentum for GL. but the most of all, you cant "launch" the grenade while shooting or you cant really "launch" the grenade a lot father than a regular ones. why not use the grenades and throw then instead? no point of putting them on the gun, no point of shooting it and reloading it.

Re: why do we need GL?

Because it's game. PPl love to have variety of weapons. you know why they don't make games like Battlefield 1917? or things like Battlefield Gettysburg? It'll be boring to bayonet each other all night long.

Re: why do we need GL?

they still explode faster than regular 'nades and they are still as effective on medium-range as before the patch , the bouncing doesnt matter.

think of the bright side, every shot the nub tuber have to wast 10sec to fire another one. GL is supose to help the shoot in real world. few shots + GL + continue shooting no point to attach to the gun if it use like gas nade in SF

Re: why do we need GL?

they nerfed them too much, so why not play medic instead and get the same weapon but the ability to heal aswell? Assault is useless now, wonder if that was dice's goal.

Re: why do we need GL?

Rav3n, have you been owned or what? Almost every kit, no, every kit has a special ability. (you do play BF2 right). The granade launcher was the assault kits special ability. The way it is now its like being in a foot race while on crutches. If it was that powerful you should have just used it too. It really wasnt that powerful, people just didnt like getting killed by someone who bought the game a week ago. In the hands of a skilled user it was a very deadly weapon. In the hands of a noob it was a deadly weapon, but they usually killed themselves too. Think about it, when people dont use the PKM (or any other weapon) improperly dont they get killed just as often? Ever see someone kill themselves with a PKM? Maybe a better answer for the game would have been to cut the ammount of ammo for the GL in half and add 5 seconds on to your respawn time every time you kill yourself till the round is over. Anyway, most players will tell you the GL is a joke now. No longer a useable weapon in battle. All it will do is let the enemy kill you while you try to use it.
I shot my GL at a wall between a medic and the player he was healing, easy 2 kills right, wrong the granade went through the wall and I got killed by the medic.
Another question, I just thought of this, If I shoot at a wall and the granade goes through, could I do this on purpose? Say, at the square flag on Karkand. Might not be so bad after all, I can shoot through walls and kill you but you cant shoot me back. Wouldnt that be a kicker, an EA installed hack. Hmmmmm. Ill have to try this when I get home. Boy they really did it this time. . . . . . . . .Red

Now it is nerfed so badly,
For a few time, I shot to a voldink that was running toward me, IT BOUNCE OFF....WTF...
And I got rammed...

For now, GL is utterly useless...

It would make the assault kit usleless and no different to the standard Medic gun.

As much as I love the kit. This is kind of the situation at hand...

Especially if you don't use unlocks.

Re: why do we need GL?

Personally I use the Medic kits and heal people and rack up revives. Also get grenades to throw at shorter ranged targets.

The grenade launcher used to be good at long ranged fire support, especially when the support weapons weren't as effective. They also made handy anti light vehicle weapons, and I shot down a couple of helicopters with them.

Nowadays I may as well spit at the targets.

There is too much deviation to make pinpoint long ranged shots, and the blast area is too small to kill people.

They should leave the fuze delay as it is, and increase the blast area.

Re: why do we need GL?

But they do suck taking out 4 wheeled things. Way too much luck and timing needed now.

Re: why do we need GL?

My latest trick is to run up behind Humvees and Vodnicks and chucking a grenade inside them :)

I suppose I could just shoot the gunner, but this is more fun.

Re: why do we need GL?

Assault kit if ****ing useless it's just an assault rifle with a useless GL, may aswell play medic
